Psyche’s Black Butterflies, an Alternative Wedding Gown

A drift of glittering jet studded wings for an alternative wedding gown…

Beautiful moody images from a shoot in Washington State. This dark fairytale story was imagined and executed by Maria, aka The Northway Studio. Maria is a jeweller and creator of exquisite rings, conjured up in glittering gemstones and hand carved precious metals. She is also a very talented photographer…it is always a pleasure to lend a gown for one of her mythic tales. This one is called Psyche, for the butterfly-winged Greek goddess of the soul.

The shoot took place at Bully For You, a Vintage Emporiumin in Colfax….they also supplied this gorgeous antique brocade chair.

The scrolls are by Irish artist Natalie Folan at White Raven Art Studio, and silk ribbons are from Nettle & Silk and Silk & Willow
